The first round of the 2004 NFL Draft was one to forget for San Diego sports fans. Prior to the draft, and after being ordered by his daddy, Eli Manning decided that he would not play for the San Diego Chargers even if they drafted him. The Chargers did what the Chargers do, and chose to draft Eli anyway. Eli stood at the podium, looking like an upset seven-year-old who…

The San Diego Gulls have been impolite this year on the road. Since December 29 2016, the Gulls are 8-0-0-1 on the road and currently possess one of the longest win streaks in the AHL this season. It all started in Texas on December 29th. Andrew Welinski, Stefan Noesen, Kalle Kossila, and Jordan Samuels-Thomas all found the back of the net to push the Gulls over the Texas Stars 4-0….

We, as San Diego football fans, have been on a rollercoaster of emotions for the last couple of years. The Chargers move to L.A. started picking up more steam, as there appeared to be a strategic move by Spanos to get San Diego to up their financial help towards building a stadium. Thoughts that the Chargers would never really leave started to brew, then… POW! One early morning, Dean and…

If you are like me, you have a lot of passion for your San Diego area teams. With the Chargers leaving town, I found myself lost and looking for a new team to share this passion with. Yes we have the Padres and the Aztecs, and trust me, I have crazy amounts of passion for those teams, but I needed a team to fill this Charger-sized hole in my heart….

Dean Spanos and the NFL committed the ultimate betrayal on the city of San Diego Thursday morning. Not only did Dean and company decide to relocate the Chargers to rival city, Los Angeles, but they tried to make the city of San Diego look like the bad guys in the process. On top of this, Spanos decided the best way to make the announcement was through a letter released…

Donnel Pumphrey will leave San Diego State this year with a list of accomplishments longer than any recent college running back. Let’s take a look at where it all started. His freshman season, he averaged 6.0 yards per carry on 125 touches for 752 total yards on the ground and 10 (eight rushing, two receiving) touchdowns as a backup.

Scoring Summary Rashaad Penny received and dashed…

Prior to week 10, I wrote how the Chargers would need to win almost all of their remaining games to make it to the playoffs. Now, after losing at home to the Dolphins, they must win all of their remaining games to possibly see a shot at making it to the playoffs. Even then, the chances are very minimal. With a Bye Week in Week 11, the Chargers will try to…

Well…like we all expected, this game wasn’t too much of a competition for the Aztecs. The team rushed for a school-record 474 combined yards in the 46-16 blowout over the Wolf Pack. SDSU finished with 620 total offensive yards, their most since December 7, 2002 against the Hawai’i Rainbow Warriors. Scoring Summary Rashaad Penny broke open the scoring gates with a monster 40-yard touchdown run early in the first quarter….

The San Diego Chargers got off to a slow start once again this season. After blowing three sure-win games, and causing themselves another loss against division rival Oakland Raiders, the Chargers found themselves in dead last at 1-4. Since that start, the team has won three of their last four games to put them at 4-5, and somewhat back into the division race. Had they beaten the Broncos in Denver in…
